I think everyone loves a restoration/rebuild video series, but you know how much it would cost. Parts are needed, so it makes sense to part it out too. But the idea of seeing that truck remaining functional for years to come is something we all appreciate. Save it!!!

Look into its history, it may be from somewhere in the rust belt. If it were my decision, I'd fix her up and put her to work. You know better than I do the harder you work those old Cummins the better they run. Like you said the combination of 12 valve and manual transmission is becoming super rare and go up in value and there's good reason for that... pre def and single wire, need I say more?

Man grandma’s truck sounds badass. It would be very cool to save what you could on it then salvage the rest or do a 12 valve swap on the yellow truck. Keep up the good work and stay safe out there.

@@laisuresboringadventures7052 true. I'd like to get another 12v as well.

I was screaming at the video to check the shutoff solenoid! You got it eventually. Also, I would have removed the air filter cover and checked to make sure there were no nests or dead animals in there. Glad you rescued the old beast. It's hard to kill a Cummins.

Let alone a 12v

This right here is exactly why I love 12 valves.... Spent all that time sitting there and as soon as you realized it was the shutoff solenoid it fired right up.. It was a little rough and stalled a few times but listen to how smooth it's running now...

I’m impressed with the jump pack,did quite a bit of cranking.

I love seeing old dodges getting put back together I’m all for it brother

I love seeing any old brand even if it’s a Chevy being put back together and restored

I wouldn’t restore it to the level of grandmas truck but a fender, some suspension parts, and a little electrical work and you’d have yourself a nice flip

‘I am not about to pull a vice grip garage and lick that’ 😂😂 love it! What an awesome find!

Last year California emissions compliant, first year hydro boost brakes

I enjoy all the restorations. If all the parts are there and it needs some TLC it could be another flip.

I’d enjoy another restoration series. That’s a really cool truck with the factory leather and standard transmission. I’d assume that wasn’t a very common combination.

That was cool Sam. I laughed at the vice grip garage reference. Fixing it would provide good content for the channel. I subscribed for the truck content. I have learned a lot about my own truck from this channel.

On the way to 100K🙏. Another 12valve project💪🏻thanks for sharing Sam👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻🇺🇸

Old 12 smoothed right up. Sounds good 👍

You should make videos on doing all the maintenance on it and all the little odds and ends to get it roadworthy

Love to see that thing fixed up and back on the road!

Great job, GOD BLESS YOU...

I would love to see you build it like your grandma truck. You have a good eyes when you find 12v so I have to say build it

I like your videos and how you restores trucks

Another adventure I love this videos so fun and clean air always

That is a sweet rig Don’t give it up Get it rolling

Those rims look like the ones that came on my 24v when I bought it but I love the new truck cant wait to se what happens

Looks like the start of a good project. Glad to see you got this truck. We saw you at tractor supply yesterday afternoon .

I just bought a triple axle diamond C38 ft gooseneck and man you weren't lying those trailers are amazing one of the best pulling trailers I've ever had I have a 44 ft PJ gooseneck as well doesn't even compare and it's a very nice trailer love the videos man keep up the great work

Grandmas truck sounds badass flatbed was a good choice looks amazing

Man hearing your trucks make me miss my old trucks. The 2021 is a Badass rig but it sounds like a 1 ton Prius

Dude rockin out all the cool Rams. Me: “oh, a truck with low miles! Sweet! 3.42 gears in a dually!?! The GCVW isn’t even high enough to tow a gooseneck with a CTL with a mulcher. Is a used Ram with a G56 and 4.10 too much to ask? FML!”

I would kill to have a cool project truck like that. Lots to invest into it but saving them from being smashed.

I've got a '95 SLT 3500 flatbed automatic with a triple disc torque converter that would be great to have you get in shape...for farm work.

Fix it!!! Priceless

Advanced flow engineering, you know that Means power. Classic.

Restore it. Love seeing them on the road!!

Definitely restore it. New tig welded in metal where needed. All new anti-corrosion brake and gas lines.

Personally I’d fix it up enough to make it safe for the road,do a little engine work,new tires and put winches front and rear and make an off road recovery truck out of it. Then make videos doing off-road recovery.

I wouldn’t mind seeing it get fixed up for the content. I like the project videos

Digging the content. Beautiful landscape in the background looks familiar. I will put a wave out the window if I see you.

Nice buy buddy ! I would probably fix her up again....

That would make sense

Nothin sounds as good as a 12v especially with the stock hx35 that slight sing at idle with a full straight pipe pure music. I sold my wonderful 97 12v after 14 years (always garaged and no winters) with over 500,000 miles only because I was embarrassed at the boat ramp after having to be pulled out a few to many times. I needed a 4x4 for i been through several different trucks since I sold it, the 12v still calls to me. Here in Michigan they are ALL rotted out now. I need another with 4x4

My 66 ford f100 had a lamp wire used to connect the battery. My wife’s uncle was very creative.

I'm not a Dodge guy but if it runs I would say restore the truck it would make good content I like watching restoration vids.

I would love something like this for my first truck especially a 12V

Just found your channel. That LGB hat earned a subscription.

sorry rant alert!!!! god I wish I could say that here in pa that I never see rusted out rocker panels here in a few yrs your new truck is a rust bucket then they change the laws that ya cant have rust hole anywhere or it fails state inspection but they keep tossing salt on the roads and the dam calcium salt brine pre treat 90% of the time they put it down we don't even see any weather its ridiculous. anyway nice find on the 12v. stay healthy and thanks for sharing

advanced flow engineering = afe same company. had one of their turbos before not much different than stock. makes it a little more fun

Fix it. They’re to hard to find.

"It's a 12v, that thing will run on used motor oil.". 😂😂. FIX IT!!!!!

Me personally, I love the restore content, but you spent alot of time on grandma's truck. You and 12 valves just seem to work yourselves out to the correct path.

We had an obs 7.3 liter that had been sitting outside for 18 years. Finally, we pulled it inside and after about 30 seconds of cranking she fired right up!

Flatbed dually swap? Maybe smokestacks?

Looks like Drummond’s old bumper too.

Use it for parts. That truck wasn't only in CA...the salvage title alone is a red flag. I have enjoyed your videos for a while, just got linked through a computer recognition of company Gmail address and KZread came alive. Love Grandma's truck and what you did with her.

What are those chrome tie down things on the bed i like them they look cool

It's already doing better it's running, it may need alot of work, if it's not restored and gives it's parts to a couple trucks then it's still useful

Be nice to see it road worthy again

Even before truck prices got way out of hand here a beat up high mileage 2nd gen would be 10k if you could find one for sale in the first place

Now that's a cool truck. These trucks just seem to fall into your lap lol.

Then thing tapped in the coolant hose is for one of the gauges tells the coolant temperature

Did it have grid heat deleated, good work truck

I’m really hoping you save this truck

Like the Vice grip Garage plug..... "A guy has too many 12 valves"! Unless you have a plan for the engine and trans Id clean her up, give it a full service, make it roadworthy/legal, and flip it.

@@markbremmer8642 : They realize just fine. They simply don't care. California has been a cesspool of air quality problems for a long, long time. California's underlying problems run much deeper than simple motor vehicle pollution. They have far too many people crammed into a small space with inadequate ventilation. Plain & simple. Beyond all that, follow the money. There's big money to be made in following the trend of "going green" these days. If there weren't, it wouldn't be happening. Humanity seems to thrive on self-inflicted (created) chaos.
